Chemical signaling between cells is an effective way to coordinate behavior within a
community. Although cell-to-cell signaling has mostly been studied in single species, it is …

The Qse BC two‐component system (TCS) is associated with quorum sensing and functions
as a global regulator of virulence. Based on sequence similarity within the sensor domain …

Gram-negative bacteria have evolved numerous two-component systems (TCSs) to cope
with external environmental changes. The CpxA/CpxR TCS consisting of the kinase CpxA …

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a commonly occurring foodborne pathogen
responsible for numerous multistate outbreaks in the United States. It is known to infect the …

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a mucosal respiratory pathogen causing contagious
porcine pleuropneumonia. Pathogenesis studies have demonstrated a major role for the …

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important swine respiratory pathogen. Previous
studies have suggested that growth as a biofilm is a natural state of A. pleuropneumoniae …

QseC, a histidine sensor kinase of the QseBC two-component system, acts as a global
regulator of bacterial stress resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence. The function of …

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is a subgroup of extra-intestinal pathogenic E.
coli (ExPEC) strains that cause avian colibacillosis, resulting in significant economic losses …

Glaesserella parasuis, a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract of pigs, is the
etiological agent of Glässer's disease, which is characterized by fibrinous polyserositis …

The widespread two-component system (TCS), QseBC, involves vital virulence regulators in
Enterobacteriaceae and Pasteurellaceae. Here we studied the function of QseBC in …
